Christmas Eve has arrived, and there are any number of reasons why you might need to make a run to the pet store. Whether you are looking for dog or cat food, treats, toys, or other must have essentials, a trip to PetSmart might be in order. However, with both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day upon us, you may also be concerned about their holiday hours.

So what exactly can we expect from PetSmart this holiday season? While PetSmart will be closed on Christmas Day, they are open on Christmas Eve. That being said, they do have different hours than normal on December 24.

Thanks to USA Today, we know that PetSmart will be open on Christmas Eve from 9 AM to 6 PM local time. This means that you will need to get any and all essential shopping for your pet done before they close at 6 PM. Otherwise, you will either need to place an order online for delivery (or pickup) after the holiday, or wait until December 26 to get whatever your pet needs. (That being said, there are some other stores that you can visit if there are things you absolutely have to have for your pet, including grocery stores, convenience stores, and pharmacies like CVS.)

Obviously, if you are trying to snag a last-minute stocking stuffer for your pet or need to buy something for a pet owner, you will want to get to your local PetSmart on Christmas Eve. And, it’s a good time to show up in store as there are some sales that you may not want to miss.

With Christmas Eve being your last chance for in-store holiday shopping, there are a few deals that you may want to check out. PetSmart is currently offering 25% off of cat furniture and the cat scratchers our felines love to dig their claws into. They are also doing 30% off of an assortment of both cat and dog beds. There are a few different sales on dog and cat toys, including outright savings on specific toys, as well as a buy three and get the fourth and fifth toys free deal.

Keeping the holiday savings going, there are dog toys for under $8, apparel for cats and dogs under $15, holiday inspired leashes and collars for $15 and even treats for $8 or less. Now is definitely the time to head straight in to PetSmart if you’re looking to spoil your dog or cat on Christmas Day.

These sales end on December 26, so now is your last chance to stock up and save, in store and online. And if you’re looking for more holiday inspiration or news, check out the rest of our holiday coverage.
